L Deluxe "Masaya" bar hammock: all the luxury of a hammock

This bar hammock is one of our best-sellers. In fact, every year we have to recommend more of them. That's great news for us, but some customers have to wait for us to restock. Since we make them twice a year, they may have to wait a while. We hope that this year, our stock forecasts will match demand. Fingers crossed.

100% handmade: a manufacturing process handed down from generation to generation

First, the craftsmen twist their cotton with a wooden wheel, to solidify the threads that will make up the body of the hammock. The threads are then carefully wound around a loom, often made of wood, to create the base of the hammock. Weaving is often a man's job, although more and more women are learning the trade.

Weaving decorative bangs

In our experience, we've always found that women are the ones who do the fringe weaving (or "los flecos", as they call it locally). Women artisans are experienced in this field. They weave both traditional and luxurious bangs, using a technique handed down traditionally within the family rather than learned at school. This stage is often considered the most important, as the bangs add an elegant touch to the hammock.

Assembly work: Joining the hammock bed to the bangs

Once the weaving of the bangs is complete, the craftsmen move on to finishing the hammock. This stage involves attaching the bangs to the hammock bed, as well as incorporating the wooden bars and wooden ornaments. The wooden bars are securely fastened to the hammock with sturdy knots to reinforce it. Finally, the hammock is carefully washed and dried to make it clean and soft to the touch.

How long does it take to make a spreader-bar hammock made in Nicaragua?

The time required to make a hammock varies according to its size and complexity. In general, a standard hammock can take from two to five days to make, but our "Masaya" Deluxe L-Bar Hammock can take up to a week or more. The exact time also depends on the number of craftsmen working on the project, their experience and skill level.
